i just took the clutch off the car a few minutes ago, and it looks to be in really good shape...the transmission was "serviced" according to my carfax statement, a few 1000 miles before i bought the car, and im thinking they may have installed a new clutch at that point because theres no scoring or any bad wear, unless im missing something...can you help me out? i really dont wanna spen the $160 i spent on the clutch if i dont have....

 

[blazrrr]

If you already have the tranny out, replace the clutch and resurface the flywheel. No need to pull it apart later if you dont have to.

replace it it is hagerd as hell the flywheel definatly needs a resurfacing i wouldnt put it back together like that

 

[ALMOSTFINISHED]

Its definately not the worst I have seen but like said above I'd go ahead and swap since you're already in there. See ya tomorrow night

Like everyone else said, resurface and buy a new clutch.

thanks guys...after getting my brain back from wherever the **** it was, and making some phone calls, i quickly realized that im an idiot and don't know as much about clutches as i thought i did...anyway, the flywheel is coming off for resurfacing, and i already have the king cobra clutch in my garage...i guess its goin in

personal experience here......GO OUT AND BUY A NEW IRON FLYWHEEL IT IS $100 FROM MUSTANGS UNLIMITED


2 summers ago i put in a king cobra and resurfaced my flywheel. it chattered for 5k miles (and ate away the clutch) because the flywheel was toast (only 87k on it). 16k miles later it will not even hold on a fast 1-2 shift.

trust me buy the new flywheel for 100 bucks. for the above reason i will never resurface a flywheel again

all that stuff looks pretty beat up. i would go ahead and replace it all while it is out.

if money isnt an issue, you should look into the fidanza aluminum flywheel. the friction surface is replaceable, it is much lighter than stock, and the weights are interchangeable so it can be used with a stroker rotating assembly later.
